Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physiologic outcomes refer to changes in the patient's physical condition or body function. The pulse oximetry reading is a measure of oxygen saturation in the blood, which is a physiologic parameter. The reading of 97% indicates that the patient's respiratory function is within normal limits without the use of supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula.
